SAPINST skips option "Use database specific tools" in System Copy

Former Member

Hello,

We are using the following DVD to do a System Copy (Java Stack Export) and the SAPINST does not display or skips the option "Use database specific tools" and it does not create the java dump.

SAP SOLUTION MANAGER 7.0 EHP 1 SR1

Installation Master

Number 51040437

I am trying to export the java stack from our SAP EHP 1 for SAP Solution Manager product.

I am using the path Software Life-Cycle Options > System Copy > Oracle > Source Ssystem Export > Central System > Database and Central Instance Export

It is asking for profiles, JRE location and then directly goes to Export location. It is not asking the "Use database specific tools" option before going to Export Location window.

I am deleting the /tmp/sapinst_instdir contents everytime when I executes the SAPINST.

Please let us know if any one has encountered this issue and how to solve it.

Thanks

Hi,

I belive it is because of parameter try to set following parameters:

export SAPINST_JRE_HOME=/usr/java14_64

export TMP=/install

export PATH=$PATH:/usr/java14_64/jre/bin

export SAPINST_USE_HOSTNAME=<your vertual hostname> i.g vm02cs01

Let me know what database you are using. I hace dabut on SAPINST_USE_HOSTNAME parameter, provide the same virtual name what you have in instance or default profile.

SAPINST_USE_HOSTNAME parameter fixed the problem, I was able to export the java stack.

Thank you for looking into this.

I have tried again with setting TMPDIR and TMP parameters. But it still did not ask for the "Use database specific tools" option.

This is solution manager system with DUAL Stack. We are doing homogeneous system copy and ABAP stack has been restored using database backup/restore method from the source system.

I am running the sapinst as root on AIX with the following environment. Am I missing any parameters?

Do we need to edit KebDB.xml file in order to work? Please let me know.

LOGIN=root

PATH=/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin:/etc:/usr/sbin:/usr/ucb:/usr/bin/X11:/sbin:/usr/java14/jre/bin:/usr/java14/bin:/opt/gc/scripts

LC__FASTMSG=true

LOGNAME=root

TMP=/usr/sap/trans/temp

MAIL=/usr/spool/mail/root

DSMI_CONFIG=/usr/tivoli/tsm/client/ba/bin/dsm.opt

LOCPATH=/usr/lib/nls/loc

USER=sadepu

AUTHSTATE=files

DISPLAY=x.x.x.x:0.0

SHELL=/usr/bin/ksh

ODMDIR=/etc/objrepos

JAVA_HOME=/usr/java14_64

DSMI_LOG=/usr/tivoli/tsm/client/ba/bin

HOME=/home/root

TMPDIR=/usr/sap/trans/temp

Thanks
